I don't know anything about consensus, but I for one find it annoying: at a first glance I recognize it as the output of perl -V and I know I'm only interested in it if I'm interested and knowledegeable enough in the OP's problem to want to delve into it and read it carefully. Otherwise it makes for a longish stream of text to scroll down and find the nodes below it to see if they give a concise answer already. (Funnily enough quite recently someone asked me to remove readmore tags from a post -iirc How not to hardcode a package name?, but I'm not sure- which I think requires them.)
